## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why create_scene is rated Medium

This tool creates new scene files and objects, which are reversible modifications to the game project. While it adds content to the game world, these changes can be undone (deleted or overwritten), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because misuse could clutter the project or create unwanted scenes, but the impact is limited to the local game project and reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Create a new empty scene file' and 'Optionally include basic objects', indicating it creates new game assets within the s&box engine."

## Use case

AI agents use create_scene to create or update resources in Sbox, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Sbox environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
